How to Get Current User Principal

asp.net, groupprincipal, userprincipal, windows-authentication

Solution

I solved by using a Find Method:

var domain = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
var currentUser = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domain, User.Identity.Name);

Problem

I want to use Windows Authentication and get User info such as Givenname, Surname, etc. I used `UserPrincipal.Current` in IIS and I got an exception, but IIS express looks fine.
